This is a film about a jazz drummer, which was recommended to me by my friend. 20 15 was deeply shocked when I first saw it, and I still have great feelings when I revisit it now.

The film mainly tells the devil coach Fletcher's cruel and almost crazy training method for drummer Neiman and other musicians.

Coach Fletcher is a very strict teacher, and he can't tolerate any carelessness in his eyes. As long as the musician has a little problem, he will get angry and ridicule the students with all kinds of ugly words. Neiman, the male owner, just went to college and was obsessed with drum sets. An accidental opportunity caught Fletcher's attention and was introduced into his band.

Once, the coach asked Neiman to give it a try: "The key is to relax, ignore the music and what others think." As a result, Neiman played a little wrong several times, and the coach also prompted him several times. Finally, he angrily threw a chair at him, and the whole rehearsal room was instantly quiet. I asked him if he was in a hurry or delayed. Neiman said he didn't know, and the coach was even more angry. He asked him how he might not know.

In this way, Neiman shed tears, and the coach was even more angry when he saw his tears, saying that he was a sissy, why his mother left him and his father, satirizing him with all kinds of ugly words, and finally letting him say "I am upset" loudly in front of other students. This is the end.

It is conceivable how ashamed and even ashamed Nieman was trained like that. But he never gave up. When he got home, he shut himself in the room and trained hard until his hands bled every time. Many things happen. By chance, Neiman replaced the more experienced drummer Tanner and became the new core drummer.

Life is always full of challenges, but you never know when such challenges will come. Soon, Coach Fletcher introduced another drummer, Connery. After a simple test, Connery replaced Neiman as the core drummer. Neiman was obviously unconvinced, but the coach said contemptuously, "If you really want to be the core, you can fight for it by your ability." .

Neiman was very unhappy in the face of the coach's "difficulties" The first thing he did when he came back was to break up with his girlfriend. In the face of his girlfriend's questioning, he said, "I want to be better, and I want to be the greatest one." In this way, he began hard training. He prepared a big glass, which was filled with ice. Whenever his hand bleeds, he puts his hand directly into the ice, the whole glass is dyed red instantly, and then he continues to play the drums firmly.

In a performance exercise, the coach trained three drummers alone. With daily accumulation and strong perseverance, Neiman once again became the core drummer.

But Nieman was carried away by his short victory. In an important performance, he was late and time was tight. Unfortunately, he had an accident while driving. But he was still injured and bleeding on the stage to play ball. In the process of drumming, his trembling hands could not hold the drumstick steadily, and finally the drumstick fell off. ...

Neiman, it never rains but it pours, was fired by coach Fletcher. At that moment, Neiman couldn't help it anymore. He rushed at Fletcher angrily. Neiman dropped out of school and went home to recuperate.

One day after a long time, he met his coach Fletcher, and many previous doubts were explained here. Fletcher said, "I don't think people know what I'm doing. I'm not a director, I'm a mentally retarded person who shakes his arm to control the rhythm. I'm trying to push them beyond their limits. I believe this is absolutely indispensable. " No two words are more harmful than "good". "

Neiman retorted, "Isn't there a limit? You pushed too hard, but the next Charlie Parker (the famous saxophonist) got discouraged and quit. " Fletcher said, "No, because the next Charlie Parker will never be discouraged, but I have never seen my own Charlie Parker, but I have worked hard, which far exceeds most people. I will never apologize for my efforts." Finally, he added, "Connery has always been my motivation."

Finally, Fletcher said that he would lead the band to perform a performance that Neiman was familiar with before and wanted Neiman to be a drummer. After consideration, Neiman decided to attend. But on the day of the official performance, the track was not the one Neiman was familiar with before. No way, he just crustily skin of head to fight, all beating at random.

Neiman was disappointed after the performance, but Fletcher proudly told him, "It seems that you don't have that talent", as if he were torturing him with words again. Neiman left the stage in anger and shame and hugged his father backstage. His father comforted him: "Nothing, let's go home".

However, Neiman was obviously unwilling. He suddenly left his father and returned to the stage. He sat down in front of the drum set, picked up the drumstick and beat the drum heartily, which was his most familiar track. This move shocked Fletcher and other musicians. Neiman quietly whispered, "Wait for my hint", so other musicians followed suit. Neiman controls the whole rhythm, and his selfless and hard-working performance makes him the focus of the audience, and even the coach who directs him becomes an ornament.

After the end of the track, the conductor and other musicians stopped, but Neiman continued to play drums without any intention of stopping. The coach asked "What are you doing", but he still answered "Wait for my hint". In this way, after a while, they stopped. The coaches made a gesture of "stop" angrily, but Neiman continued to play drums as if he could not see.

Finally, there is no way. The coach made another gesture and began to conduct, and the whole band began to play. Neiman also tried his best to throw himself into the drums. At that moment, he was playing drums with his life. Finally, the coach expressed his appreciation to him, Neiman also smiled happily, and the film ended in the performance.

The film gives me the greatest feeling that in the process of chasing dreams, I don't have to pay attention to the ridicule and questioning of others. I just need to compete with myself and try my best to challenge my limits. If you do, others will naturally change their views on you.

Because success is for yourself, even if it is an opportunity in the cracks, not others.

Of course, it takes a lot of courage to face it, so where does this courage come from? It is nothing more than the process of constantly competing with yourself until you are exhausted and the accumulation and precipitation along the way.
